This is the shocking moment two teen thugs attacked a McDonald's manager after they were told to leave, as stunned diners watch the brawl but don't intervene on Tuesday night.

This is the shocking moment two teen thugs attacked a McDonald's manager after they were told to leave, as stunned diners watch the brawl but don't intervene on Tuesday night.

The mother of two teenagers caught on camera attacking a McDonald's manager after being asked to leave has apologised for their 'unacceptable' behaviour.

In a Facebook message seen by MailOnline the mother said she is 'very sad and ashamed my boys would do this', before promising to 'deal with the situation'.

Her sons, believed to be between 16 and 19, were filmed 'drunk' and shouting abuse at staff at the fast food restaurant in Boston, Lincolnshire at around 11pm yesterday.

Witness Jasmine Brudenall, 28, captured the brawl on camera, which started when the manager told them to leave for locking an employee in a cupboard and 'flicking' his cap.

When they refused the pair erupted in a fit of rage and launched themselves at the manager, who was forced to fend for himself when no one stepped in.

Ms Brudenall, of Boston, said the pair were accompanied by their father and all three had been drinking.

The mother also confessed she has been sent 'hate comments' over the incident and begged for them to stop.

The video starts with the manager trying to shield the other smaller employee from the two lawless teenagers, who are acting aggressively towards the two staffers.

Nearby customers have their backs turned away from the scene but can be seen laughing about the situation.

Jasmine said: "The tall McDonald's worker went up to them and nicely asked 'I'm going to have to ask you to leave'.

"I sensed it was going to erupt. Sometimes you can tell when someone is so drunk that there is no chance of reasoning with them."

One of the teenagers then starts throwing punches at the manager, grabbing onto his collar and using his other hand to deliver the vicious blows.

Jasmine added: "They were so intoxicated, There was no stopping this – they would have hit anyone who got in the way.

"The other side of where people were eating were kids and old people. All the other guys were friends with them and carried on laughing."

Jasmine said that a man in the building was one of the boy's father. She said he had been drinking too, and once the brawl started he left and got into his truck.

At one point, one of the teenager tackles the worker to the ground, but still no one intervenes to help.

The scuffle lasts around 30 seconds with the McDonald's manager holding his own against the two yobs, managing to push them towards the door before the video ends.

Jasmine added that once they were near the exit, the teens attacked the manager another two times.

She said: "When outside at the front off the store they, used a metal bar they pulled off door and tried to hit him.

"The McDonald's staff member took a lot of punches. After they'd gone, [he] went into the back."

Police arrived to the scene around ten minutes after the thugs left, Jasmine said.

It is understood the manager is not pressing charges.
